Each of us brought our own unique
knowledge and experience.

A few dared to be themselves and express
their personalities.

T ogether we also
learned that life at Central
would be only what we
made it.

Although we entered
college with different
hopes and ideas, each
wanted the same thing...
a future.

Every year we moved
one step closer to the
reality of this future

For many of us this
would be the year that we
took that inevitable
step. ..the achievement of
our goals and final farewell
to Central.

For those of us who
remained behind, many
steps were left to climb,
academically and socially.

many. Wildcat Week attempted to relieve the stress, entertain,
inform and welcome students back.

Roommate roulette

( ( \ A / etaxne to Preview Week1 Meet your new room-
Y y mate!'' These words rang through residence hall
lobbies as new and transferring students arrived
for a week-tong introduction to life at Central
Breaking all attendance records, Assistant Vice President
of Academic Affairs, Deacon Meir. reported 750 students
participated this year

Termed "a huge success" by the student staff who
worked all summer to coordinate the event, one can only
hope that roommate matchmaking fared almost as well!

A blazing success

A top-notch comedian, a win on the football field and a week-tonj
series of entertaining events made this year's Homecoming a ha
topic for weeks.

Almost Homecoming

It was almost Homecoming when Ross Shafer and his popular ' Almos
Live Band performed on campus Friday night. Shafer was given a warn
welcome by the enthusiastic crowd and laughed along with hecklers wh(
yelled. "We almost love you Ross! and "We re almost having fun! ' I
Ross, sporting a C.W U. sweatshirt, made light of a wide variety d
Northwest lifestyles and rumors He explained the rationale behind wool
gathering, storage and chainsaw ownership. He confessed to originatinj
the perception of local Indian raids and the 365-day Rain Festival in ai
effort to minimize further population growth. He was well-received by thi
sold-oot crowd and the excellent jazz performances by his band made I
truly a night to remember.

Tricycles, turtles and higher education
So what do the first two have to do with the third? Easy — stress relie
set against the backdrop of Homecoming festivities. The Tricycle Rao
featured a fifty meter course in front of Holmes Dining Hall. It was thi
racer s job to successfully finish the slalom course in the least amount (
time possible. Best time went to Beck Hall. Another well-attended event!
the popular Turtle Race Finals were held this year at the Buckboaij
Tavern and sponsored by ASCWU/Umverstty Recreation Turtles war
judged on best costume as well as fastest time on the three-meter circuit
race track. This year's winner was "Bob," the popular ASCWU BOI
turtle, who lumbered away with top honors m both categories

Life, love
and lust

In late November, a talented
troupe of Central Washington
University's thespians challenged
the audience's imagination with
George Etheridge s Man of Mode
Through the direction of Robert
Sporre, these 24 talented students
performed for the audience the
complicated story line of this slight¬
ly modified 17th century soap op¬
era.

Actor Bob Berret said of his par¬
ticipation, "... it was an interesting
change from the other plays that
have been done.”

"It gave an interesting look at life,
love and lust in the Restoration
era." he concluded.

1 8 Man of Mode

Glimpses

As the lights go up, a lone, frail figure can be seen.
‘ What the hell are you doing in my attic?" the old
man shouts at the audience. He then begins to
share memories of Ns family, serving as host for a new
student drama experiment, an evening of "Glimpses."

A combination of six plays and play segments were
presented Criticisms and opinions were later sought
from the audience Each play was written and directed
by a CWU student. What follows are glimpses of
Glimpses.

"The Revenge” by Shawn McGehee
A young man (Shawn McGehee) and woman (Paula
Johnson) are nearing the end of an evening out. They
appear to be enjoying themselves as they discuss the
evening s events. The woman pours drinks and casually
adds a few drops of a drug to her date's He soon
becomes dizzy and aware of the fact that he s been
drugged. Through his stupor he hears her tell the tale of
a teenage girl who lost everything as the victim of a cruel
joke one night. She continues on to reveal that it was
this young man who raped her. He denies being there
but she persists that it was him. The lights flash off
momentarily and come on just long enough to see her
holding a butcher knife above his head. The lights come
up again upon the same scene but this time there is a
new unsuspecting victim (Jeff DeCamp). The scene re¬
peats itself . . .

"Angie” by Kelly Dworak

A rhythm and movement piece, "Angie" is a new
dimension of expression for the Drama Department.
The outline of a young girl asleep on a bed slowly
emerges. Suddenly three figures, all dressed in black,
begin to torment her. Suddenly three figures, the evil
forces m Angle's dream, begin to torment her. Three
figures dressed in white now arrive on the scene and
begin to do battle with the evil figures. They also try to
reassure Angie that the good forces have once again
dominated over evil.

"The Mad Tea Party" by Paul Vose
TNs story was adapted from "Alice in Wonderland.' A
madcap look at the Tea Party, Vose's version holds a
few new surprises. Cheryl Barnett played Alice with
Vose as the Mad Hatter, Shawn McGehee and Ken
Sims joined in the fun as the Door Mouse and the March
Hare.

Glimpses was a first time effort by an alt-student com¬
pany, the first In what they hope will become an annual
event.

Orchesis
ignites crowd

Displaying an Incredible medley of form and style, Orchesis dancers
enthralled their audience with the spring performance Dancescape,
Under the general management of Lana Jo Sharpe, the students
of Orchesis develop the various aspects of the show. Music selecting,
costuming, choreographing, and dancing in the artistic vignettes. These
are only a few of the many tasks the talented members of Orchesis
coordinate for each performance.

"Inside Out (choreographed by Beverly Ormbrek). proved to be one of
Dancescape s more liberal works. Mixing colorful costumes with creative
and original use body movement added to the overall flavor of this piece
Flashlights held by the dancers (Cindy Alexander. Adnenne Mildon. and
Katy Reeves) were occasionally used as the only form of lighting. This
turned out to be a fun concept for Ormbrek's work.

Other highlights included guest performances by dancers from The
Ellensburg Dance Centre, a dramatic dance to Sting s "Englishman in
New York." and a beautifully flowing piece called "Domlna" which carried
the black -gowned dancers mystically about the stage

This was the theme for the 1 988
Parents Weekend, highlight¬
ing the importance of jazz at
Central

The Jazz Band is an integral part
of music fare offered at Central and
provides students and the commu¬
nity alike with great entertainment
year round.

John Moawad, Professor of Mu¬
sic and Director of Jazz Studies
and Percussion helps a handful of
gifted students attain excellence as
musicians.

They, in turn, provide free enter¬
tainment many times during the
year in the SUB Pit and at Papa
Johns on Wednesday nights.

In addition, students can pay a
small ticket price for some top-
notch jazz entertainment by attend¬
ing the ever-popular Jazz Night
held in McConnell Auditorium
Central s reputation has grown
steadily over the years for the qual¬
ity of jazz performers turned out by
Moawad and the CWU Music De¬
partment.

24 Jazz

Jazzing it up

Central Washington University has the nonored distinction o< being
famous for its jazz And currently, jazz music is becoming more and
more popular throughout the Northwest. In an article entitled "Ear¬
shot Jazz, Northwest magazine recently listed more than 45 artists
scheduled to perform in the Seattle area. Places like the Paramount,
Parkers, and Dimitricus Jazz Alley come alive with jazz festivals each
year

Jazz has a unique beat, swing and feel It seems to "flow" more than
other kinds of music, even though it is mostly improvisational in form,
The ability to Improvise is a gift Jazz musicians are often more highly
trained, than, for example pop/top-forty performers. While pop artists may
strive for a look and a show," jazz musicians stnve for a total musical
experience.

Come play with us

The 1987-88 Central Washington
University marching band was
truly a delight to watch this year.

FaM quarter they stayed busy enter¬
taining us at football games and dur¬
ing the Homecoming Parade (when
they played their crowd-pleasmg El
Dorado).

There are about 110 members of
the band this year.

They meet for rehearsals four times
a week in two hour sessions.

Open to all. the marching band
does not require that students have
been enrolled in any other performing
band. High school marching band ex¬
perience is all that is required.

A dedicated group. Drum major
Don Immel said he has hopes to take
the group to the Auburn Invitational to
perform next year

the Appropriations Committee (AP-
COM) consisting ot one member
from every hall.

The General Body concerns itself
mostly with campus-wide activities,
and APCOM generally works more

closely with the LGA's in sponsor¬
ing hall activities.

Some activities that R.H.C. has
worked on this year are the Wildcat
Week, Homecommg and Sweet¬

community during the annual Parents Weekend celebration.

This year events included a barbecue at Holmes Dining Hall, cheerieading and
musical performances on Barto lawn, and a parent-student dance in the SUB

provides. Parents are reminded of the hard times (and fun times) they had while
striving to establish themselves, often they can better empathize with their chil¬

The University Bookstore s sponsored
event was hosted by Bob Brooks and
Butch Songcuan. The comical duo tried
hard to keep the rowdy crowd in line
"Bad" turned out to be great for the
group from Orchesis who captured first
prize with an outstanding dance routine.

The Sympathy Cards, Knssy Schupp
and Donna Slomain. sang their way to sec¬
ond place with the humorous melody If I
See You."

Rounding off the list of winners in third
place was the group Raisin Hell, who per¬
formed a spinoff of "I Heard it Through the
Grapevine” as the California Raisins
The finale of the show was the Central
Boys, who brought down the house with
their excellent imitation of the Village Peo¬
ple’s song "YMCA."

The group was overlooked by the judges
but was easily the crowd's favorite.

This exciting event has been part of Cen¬
tral s activities since 1981 and gets better
every year.

Star quality

Sports Illustrated recently ran an article on Coacn
Nicholson That's news in and of itself. But the
story behind the story is that one very qualified
CWU sfudent was chosen to assist in the photo shoot.
The student is Stacy Bradshaw.

Bradshaw is a sports photographer with the shining
talent to freeze an athlete in mid-flight Central students
have admired her remarkable action shots both in the
Observer and In the Epicentre yearbook. Undoubtedly,
more of Stacy's ' freezeframe sports' ' will be seen in the
future in a wide variety of publications
Bradshaw is a Mass Communications Major with a
specialty in Print Journalism Upon graduation, she
hopes to do some free lance photography and eventual¬
ly obtain a permanent position with a magazine or news¬
paper.

Talented Stacy Bradshaw will undoubtedly prove to
be a Central Alumni superstar

The sound of a dead cow

Damon Tacket. shining music star at Central, didn't
always get such rave reviews On the third day
atter he began playing the trumpet his mother pro¬
tested, “You're making the sounds of a dead cow." I
But his parents almost had to support a music educa¬
tion major, since musical ability runs in the Tacket family.
Being a music major is a lot of work according to Tacket
But he s willing to take six or seven years to complete
his degree.

After college. Damon would like to teach music n
Selah or the Yakima Valley. He loves living in Washing¬
ton because "it's the best (here) you've got it all."

Tacket believes one shouldn't "Stress Out" on life.
"You gotta take it as it comes and surround yourself
with the best if you want to succeed.

Pit showers with hits

Cozy Abbott, current Papa John s coordinator,
found it difficult at first to convince talented
individuals to get their acts together But her
strong will and determination brought crowd pleas-
ers like Steve Stefanowicz to the SUB pit Steve
sings and plays the acoustic guitar in a wonderful
Wend of folk and pop music. Abbott says the folk
oriented musicians have done well Performers like
Dana Lyons, Eric Parks and Mike Marker are real
professionals But, she concedes, There are
many other interests and tastes to appeal to
Eager to find "something for everybody," Abbot
has sought out much of the hidden talent m the
Music Department as well as elsewhere on cam¬
pus Goals of “88-89 include expanding the "Open
Mike Night" format. Abbott says the show allows
"people who have never had a microphone in their
hands a chance to take their talent from the show¬
er to the pit."

A spice in life

Orchesis president. Kathy Spicer, must certainly be¬
lieve that variety is the spice of Me.

Not only is she a great dancer, but in high school,
she ran track, was a cheerleader, and was on the drill
team. She also likes txke riding, sewing and cooking. At
Central, she has taken jazz, modem dance, tap. ballroom
and folk dancing.

In her freshman year, Spicer auditioned and made the
Orchesis team. It's kept her busy ever since She practices
six hours a week, and each year gives countless hours to
the many creative details of dance production

Each spring Orchesis presents a week -tong dance festi¬
val featuring students and members of the local communi¬
ty The popular two-hour shows feature the work of stu¬
dent choreographers, set and costume designers and a
wide variety of dances and dance styles.

Spacer's love of dance is increasingly evident. Intent on
perfecting her natural talent, dance has become a major
priority in her life. Stated simply, Spicer says with a smile,
"Wherever I go, I will always want to dance!"'

Snake-fest. A word known mostly to chemistry majors in Dean Hall. The co-
founder of this popular event is Fred Voosen. Fred is a graduate student
originally from Cathlammett . WA and won the 1 982 Outstanding Chemistry
Student of the Year" Award for the Portland ACS Chapter while attending Lower
Columbia College. He earned his B.S Degree m Chemistry at Montana Tech and
came here to Central as a grad student to do a research project Currently, he is
creating a compound made from the synthesis reaction of silicon and carbon. He
is attempting to create something that has never been made before. "II it works,
I'll be published as a student. Very few people get published," Fred explained. He
became interested in silicon as a result of a professors' interest in organic chemis¬
try at Montana Tech Fred noticed that the plants growing near mine talings
contain a large amount of silicon and worked to find the correlation between
organic materials and sibcon.

Fred has been a lab T A. for the past two years at CWU and hopes to work in an
analytical lab after graduation. He wants to work on such environmental issues as
toxic waste and acid rain He may also pursue a PhD after graduation. There's
just something about it that intrigues me
Fred, however, is not all work and no play He and his roommate Pat are co¬
founders of the weekly "Snakefest" Together, they own three snakes — Julia,
Squeezer, Monty Python and David Boa, and one iguana, ZZ. They also have
enough rats to keep them happy. They have named the party that coincides with
their feeding times as Snakefest. Fred has not always been an inspinng Herpe¬
tologist: he began with the usual cat and dog pets and progressed to tarantulas
and eventually reptiles.

CWU feels good

JMTt Brooks, wide receiver
for Central, believes he’s
picked a good team. After
high school he had offers from
UPS and Eastern, but prefers
Central s great coaching staff.
' They're understanding,'' Jim
says, We can talk about our
feelings'' This makes him
more confident on the field be¬
cause the coaches are behind
him 100 percent
Jim also hopes to score a
touchdown in the field of Psy¬
chology. He's interested in the
clinical as well as the experi¬
mental aspects, and feels
good about Central s psychol¬
ogy department.

This year, going to the play¬
offs was especially exciting for
Jim who dreams of someday
playing pro ball

Setting fire to the history books

Commitment to excellence Great senior leadership learn cnemisiry, inese aswib u*n-
tuned to lead the Cats to the National Tournament for only the second time in the history of
the school!

The return of Coach Dunbar as first year head coach, after a two year absence, may have had
something to do with team motivation and development.

After a devastating loss to rivals P.L.U (42-0) early In the season, the team pulled It together
and played extremely we* from that point on. They proved that they were able to learn from their
mistakes and bounce back with a spectacular season finish.

Even though the Cats lost in the first round of the playoffs, they earned an 8th place ranking In
the final standings. 21 out of the original 24 starters made it to All-Conference teams!

The finale of the whirlwind season came when Coach Dunbar was named C F.L.'s Coach of the
Year.

Wild about
Wrestling

Taking them to the mat

Long hours. Sweat. Determination Reward. These are |ust some of
the qualities possessed by Central s wrestlers. Still, only a few men
were able to last the season

The team began with 50 men and finished with less than 1 5 They wen
plagued with eligibility rules, injuries and transfer problems.

A young team, they consisted primarily of freshmen They looked lor
guidance and leadership from Coach Greg Ford and from the only senior,
Chris Riley

"But these were college wrestlers, not freshmen wrestlers explained
Coach Ford, "So they had to step in and do their best "

And that they did The mat-cats ended their season 6-9 in dual meets
and finished 5th in NAIA Districts. Chris Riey ended his wrestling can
by placing in the NAIA National Tournament.

Building a strong foundation and team unity were goals the Cats rest
ized this year, proving they were dedicated, motivated and wdd about
wrestling.’

Womens V’ball scores maddening season

The Cats played with intensity and style this year. A young team, they
were eager to learn and willing to work hard. Matches were exciting
to watch; teamwork resulted in quick moves and fast action.

This year was a building year for the Cat Volleyball Team. They played
some tough teams and lost some close games. One highlight « their
season .vas splitting a match with second ranked rivals, Western.

Even though the team was disappointed with their overall record, they
were pleased with this year's team performance.

Their record didn't show it, but the games were fast action and great
to watch said Stacy Bradshaw, student sports photographer

the highlight of the year: that a

Many hours were invested last
spring to set the stage for recogni¬
tion of the team.

The young team finished 3-5-3
under the guidance of Coach Dean
Walker

We did we# for not having any
previous playing time together."
explained Jennifer Todd, co-cap-
tain.

‘There were a lot of individual
talents, but sadly, it didn t show as
a team," she concluded.

One of the highSghts of the sea¬
son came in the game against na¬
tionally ranked PLU. Though they
lost to the #1 ranked team, mem¬
bers felt good about the* perfor¬
mance because it was such a close
game.

The first win came m a 2-0 victory

Ups and
downs plague
a hot season

'Cats ignite crowds with high
scoring games

Cheering, dapping, stomping in
the stands. These were the
sounds that filled Nicholson
Pavillton as the Mens Basketball
season got underway.

Games were well attended with
supportive crowds packing the
stands. It's no wonder— the team
has had a history of winning sea¬
sons and exciting games
Best of the fast-action games
were against rivals PL.U. and
Western. Winning, losing and win¬
ning streaks mid and late season
characterized Central s style this
year

Western won the District 1 cham¬
pionship in early March with a OS¬
SA victory in Bellingham, taking the
best-of-three championship series
two games to one.

This loss dropped Central to 23-
11 for the season Still a season
record was set and five single¬
game team records during the year.
The Cats netted a 85.6 scoring
average, the highest in school his¬
tory Central scored 100 or more
points seven times, the most ever in
a single season.

Game records set included most
field goals (62). most field goal at¬
tempts (104) and widest victory
margin (62), all In a 135-71 win over
Northwest College; most three-
point attempts by an opponent (25
versus Northwest College).

Many games were crowd-pleas-
ers and only three members of the
1 2-player roster were seniors That
leaves a lot of returning talent and
the promise of a scorching season
next year.

Netting an unpredictable season

Tennis teams go to districts

Central s mens and womens tennis teams performed well this year
They were 16 and 3 for the regular season and scored two wins at
districts.

The team began practicing dunng the winter at the Elensburg Racquet
Club where Coach Dennis Roberts invests a good deal of his time. Use of
the facilities helped the team to workout on a regular basis. Players were
encouraged to practice on their own and in addition mandatory practice
sessions were scheduled for them.

Central's tennis teams made it to district playoffs. One of the exciting
highlights was the performance of Tad Davis, the # 1 rated Singles Player
Though the team did not make it to nationals, Coach Roberts was pleased
with their overall performance, “the team did very well," he said
Jill Nelson, captain of the womens team and Tad Davis, mens team
captain both were voted Most Valuable Players

Wild ’ Cats wind up as
World Series contenders

As we were headed to press the CWU Wildcats were headed for the World Series In what
has proved to be an exciting season, the team scored 29 wins and 22 losses including a
victory over the powerful UW Huskies and a district championship Whatever the outcome
of the senes, they have had a most impressive season
The team, as well as coach, Ken Wilson, were estactic and proud of the World Series
opportunity, the first after 18 years. Even before the play-off opportunity, Coach Wilson was
satisfied with the team's performance.

"We've had a very good year! No matter how we do, I’ll be happy.'

"A coach waits his whole life," Wilson continued, "for a chance at the World Series I feel very
lucky to be going and the players will be rewarded for their efforts, whether we win or lose,” he
asserted.

Marc Greeley, a senior, led the team with a .402 batting average, topping his record-setting
performance last year and remaining on top. He also came through with six game winning RBls
and some heroic plays at short.

Team players Ron Kostick and Joe Dawson turned in strong season performances as well.
Both finished with batting averages in the upper 300 s and also contributed to the team with
some great defensive performances

Whether it’s win or lose at the senes it s been a hot year for CWU Baseball.
